    Occupation
    • Charles Nagreen (1870 - 1951) invented the hamburger. The Seymour Community Historical Society of Seymour, Wisconsin, credits Charlie Nagreen with the invention of the hamburger. He's known as "Hamburger" Charlie Nagreen. At the age of 15 he sold meatball sandwiches at the 1885 Seymour Fair. One day he had an idea. He flattened his meatball, cooked it on the grill, placed it between two slices of bread, and named it a hamburger. The Historical Society explains that Nagreen named the hamburger after the Hamburg steak with which local German immigrants were familiar. The hamburger caught on quickly with the crowds. Everyone loved them. In Seymour Wisconsin there stands a monument in honor of Hamburger Charlie Nagreen.
